This invention relates to improvements in late news devicestornevvspeper printing machines, by which supplementsrv matter such aslate news and edition headings are printed.

Heretofore, the lets news printing boxes or form holders end theirassociated inking mechanism have been supported by brackets secured tohere extending from side to side the late news printing mechanism, thecrrengement thus being such that the resultant force due to the weightof the boxes end the inking mechanism has lzeen'onset horizontally withrespect to the cross loan A twisting motion was thus imposed on thecross bar which in consequence, hm. lied to be extremely massive.Moreover the vibration due to the blow that results ZCEOHi thesuccessive groups of type moving into and out of contact with theimpression cylinder, has been transmitted through the brackets to theinking mechanism, with the result that uneven inking occurred.

According to the present invention, the late news and edition needingboxes are supported on n shaft or the like, mounted in the main frame ofthe machine independently of the supnortfor tine inking mechanism, whichletter support arranged substantiall in the line of force due totheweight of t e mechanism With such an arrangement, the vibrationimparted to the sheit for the boxes is transmitted direct to the meinframe of the machine, the inking mecnenism is substantially unufiecteclthereby, end the support for the mechanism is subjected substantiallyonly to bending stresses.

The main oloj'ect of the present invention is to provide en arrangementin which the lots news meche-nim is rigidly supported in such positiones to be WS81l9l, and so as 'ings.

not to interfere witlithe reactions of other elements of the machine Itis also an object of the invention to provide a late news mechanism ofgenerally improved construction, whereby the device will be durable andsimple in construction, as well as convenient, practical, serviceableand officient in its use.

With the foregoing and other objects in View, which will appear as thedescription roceeds, the invention resides in the coininetion andarrangement or" parts, and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that various changes in theprecise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made withinthe scope of What is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

The Yreferred embodiment of the invention is i lustreted in theaccompanying drewings, wherein:

Figure 1 is e transverse section partly broken away, of a printingmachine that comprises four lute news printing devices, and two devicesfor printing editiouneed- Figure 2 is e sectionel view or" t e nism asseen on the line "ill-11 of Figure l and in the direction of the arrow,

Referring to the drawings, the numerals 1 and 2 indicate main sideironies of n rinz-sing machine, iii-Which is journuled on impressioncylinder 8. A shaft is indiceted at at on which form holders or boxes 5,6 end 7, ,edepted to hold supplementary printing forms are adjusteblymounted3 and it be understood that the section oroken sway may containboth lets news type ed tion headings, end the box 6. news only. The l isjourneled in the mom frames 1 end 55, end is suppofsed intermediate oiits ends by e 9, flanges 1-6 end 11 edg'ustcbly liolted to :Erememembers 12 and 13, which are secured at their. ends to the side frames 1end 2..

The mechanism for the tygle conteined in the boxes, is supported by subframes 14, 15; 16, 1?; end 18- 19 respectivel a Each of the sulcfiemesis mi meaneted te tne cncss m 22 by. bolts 23 whoseiheads'extehd intoslots 23, formed in the cross bar 22, whereby the frames can be adjustedto an desired- 'known kind and each comprises an ink foun-' tain 25,having a fountain roller 26, a ductor roller 27 mounted on arms 28 thatare located in any well-known manner, a distribution drum 29, rollers 30and 31 which are reciprocated across the peri her;' of the drum 29, andform rollers 32 an 33.

a it is not called 11 In the drawings, the inking mechanism described isillustrated for the subframes 14 and 15, and in part for the subframes16 and 17 It will be understood that the mechanism is duplicated on theother side of the machine.

The ink fountains are bolted to the sub-v frames 14 and 15 and to othersimilar subframes. The pivots of "the arms 28 are I mounted on the saidframes and the rollers bearing the numerals -33 inclusive are mounted inbrackets35, 36, 37 and 38, secured to the frames, while the inkdistributing drums 29 are arranged to rotate freely on the .rod 24. Therotation of the distribution drums 29 and the fountain rollers 26 iseffected by gearing, indicated generall at 39, and driven by gear wheels40, secur the shaft4 is transmitted direct to the side frames 1 and 2,and hence is not transmitted to the inking mechanism, thus ,even inkinThe weight of the mechanism is adapted to supportinking mechanisms inoperative relation to the form holders.
